Halloween is my favorite time of the year-I like the decor, the joy it brings and, of course, seeing my adorable niece and nephew all dressed up in their costumes. It’s also the perfect time to combine my two loves-Halloween plus food-with a food- or drink-themed costume. Save yourself some time from scouring the deepest corners of Pinterest: I already did it for you. Here’s all the food costume inspiration you need to win Halloween this year:
1. Toaster + Toast

Raise your hand if you’re willing to pull me around in a wagon-turned-toaster, because this DIY costume is genius. Plus, once you have the toaster made, you don’t have to stop at toast-turn it into a group costume. One person can be an everything bagel, another a toaster waffle and someone else gets to be my personal favorite, an English muffin.

2. Mac & Cheese

You’ll have to save your toilet paper rolls for a year, but all this 4-year-old wanted was to be his favorite food. Is that too much to ask?

6. Taco
Honestly, we would use that taco clutch any time of the year, but this whole ensemble is genius. The only thing it’s missing are a couple slices of avocado or a dollop of guacamole!

7. Cotton Candy
As a general rule of thumb, we try to stay away from too much added sugar, but we can make an exception for this adorable costume.
